* BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann2010-10-2121-5/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* dabusb: remove the BKLArnd Bergmann2010-10-191-15/+3
| | | | | | | | | The dabusb device driver is sufficiently serialized using its own mutex, no need for the big kernel lock here in addition. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
* sunrpc: remove the big kernel lockArnd Bergmann2010-10-192-30/+11
| | | | | | | | | | The sunrpc cache_ioctl function does not need the big kernel lock because it uses its own queue_lock already. rpc_pipe_ioctl apparently should be using i_lock like the other operations on the pipe file descriptor do. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

* dvb-core: kill the big kernel lockArnd Bergmann2010-10-194-40/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | The dvb core only uses the big kernel lock in the open and ioctl functions, which means it can be replaced with a dvb specific mutex. Fortunately, all the ioctl functions go through dvb_usercopy, so we can move the serialization in there.

* fix rawctl compat ioctls breakage on amd64 and itanicAl Viro2010-10-192-173/+140
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RAW_SETBIND and RAW_GETBIND 32bit versions are fscked in interesting ways. 1) fs/compat_ioctl.c has COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND) followed by HANDLE_IOCTL(RAW_SETBIND, raw_ioctl). The latter is ignored. 2) on amd64 (and itanic) the damn thing is broken - we have int + u64 + u64 and layouts on i386 and amd64 are _not_ the same. raw_ioctl() would work there, but it's never called due to (1). As it is, i386 /sbin/raw definitely doesn't work on amd64 boxen. 3) switching to raw_ioctl() as is would *not* work on e.g. sparc64 and ppc64, which would be rather sad, seeing that normal userland there is 32bit. The thing is, slapping __packed on the struct in question does not DTRT - it eliminates *all* padding. The real solution is to use compat_u64. 4) of course, all that stuff has no business being outside of raw.c in the first place - there should be ->compat_ioctl() for /dev/rawctl instead of messing with compat_ioctl.c.

* uml: kill big kernel lockArnd Bergmann2010-10-194-18/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock, but all of them can be safely converted to using a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not even necessary, so after further review these can and should be removed as well. The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either, so remove it from there, too.

* cris: autoconvert trivial BKL usersArnd Bergmann2010-09-268-31/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All uses of the big kernel lock in the cris architecture are for ioctl and open functions of character device drivers, which can be trivially converted to a per-driver mutex.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation. To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by preallocate_image_memory() is too low. Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory allocation patterns into account. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Set it on init to fix a corner case where a device is resumed when its parent has never suspended. Consider three drivers, A, B, and C. The parent of A is C, and C has async_suspend set. On boot, C->power.completion is initialized to 0. During the first suspend: suspend_devices_and_enter(...) dpm_resume(...) device_suspend(A) device_suspend(B) returns error, aborts suspend dpm_resume_end(...) dpm_resume(...) device_resume(A) dpm_wait(A->parent == C) wait_for_completion(C->power.completion) The wait_for_completion will never complete, because complete_all(C->power.completion) will only be called from device_suspend(C) or device_resume(C), neither of which is called if suspend is aborted before C. After a successful suspend->resume cycle, where B doesn't abort suspend, C->power.completion is left in the completed state by the call to device_resume(C), and the same call path will work if B aborts suspend.

The reason is that when qemu uses vhost, vhost wants to attach its thread to all cgroups that qemu has. But we got the API backwards, so a non-priveledged process (Qemu) tried to control the priveledged one (vhost), which fails. Fix this by switching to the new cgroup_attach_task_all, and running it from the vhost thread. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

In our case (vhost), a priveledged user wants to attach it's task to cgroups from a less priveledged one, the API makes us run it in the other task's context, and this fails. So let's make the API generic and just pass in 'from' and 'to' tasks. Add an inline wrapper for cgroup_attach_task_current_cg to avoid breaking bisect. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

As ipheth only requires one-per-hotplug pairing setup with no preconfiguration (like APN, phone #, etc) and the network interface is usable at any time after that initial setup, remove the incorrect devtype wwan.
